Add a Subject - Optional

The first, optional, part of your message is a subject line. The subject line lets you tell your contacts what the message is about, or more importantly, who the message is from. When received on the user's phone, the Subject appears in front of the incoming text message in parentheses. NOTE: Subject counts against your total character count so keep it brief!

Common Questions

How do I adjust my Time Zone?

Manage your time zone from the My Account > Personal Info page.

Can I include links in my Message?

Yes. You will be prompted to replace your link with a shortened link. If you use our link shortening tool you will be able to track which contacts clicked on the link, and the percentage of your total contacts that clicked on the link.

How Does the Link Shortener Work?

The link shortening tool allows you to include a text message with very few character, which is a great help considering that an SMS text must be 160 characters or under! But the major benefit of this tool is that it lets you track how many people (and which ones) click on their link. From there, you can send new follow up texts to people based on whether or not they clicked the link. Although EZ Texting does not have a way of tracking how many contacts actually read a text, using the link shortening tool lets a user measure this indirectly.

To see how your shortened links are performing, click “Link Shortener” in the Tool menu.

When you create a text message you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. EZ Texting makes it easy to save messages your sending as templates you can send again. We’ve also put together a list of typical kinds of messages that customers send that you can use as a jumping-off point. You can read more about templates here.

How Does Personalization Work?

Addressing your customers by name can make a big impact. It makes the message feel more personal and like something that was made just for them.

To add a personalized word -- such as your customer’s name -- in the body of your text message you click the “Personalize” button. Then you can choose what you want to include. The EZ Texting tool will add the real name in automatically when the message gets sent.
